Apologies if this has been posted I was just wondering what's everyone's general view on the super cheap season tickets for new supporters in the east and west stand.
There is a block in both the east and west stand where a new season ticket holder with valley gold could get an adult season ticket for £160 before the price increase the other day. That is super cheap.
I am not fussed myself as the more people in the valley the better but also like with a lot of things in life the better deals seems to be for new customers.
Is it fair that a regular season ticket holder can pay £400+ to renew their seat but somebody new can come in for half that price.

It's fine, I think, to have those sort of price differences to the premium seats but it's a bit odd when the similar blocks at the North end of the stands were priced at £325 (less the discount).
But it wasn't for new season ticket holders only - anyone could have seats or swap to those blocks if spaces were available. BUT if they were fully subscribed, (does anyone know if that's the case?) would an existing ticket-holder elsewhere have had that opportunity? Is that the point?
Re sales I was told re A block that "loads of people haven't renewed".
The H block is only available to new season ticket holders.
That can't be right ? Surely anyone can buy a ticket anywhere they like (provided there isn't someone already sitting there !)
If you work on the basis that very few new season ticket holders come forward every season if you vacated your seat in Block E in the East stand and bought a £150 seas elsewhere no one would question if you stayed sitting in the same seat.
That is reason enough to stop people from 'relocating' to a cheaper seat in walking distance to the one they had this season.
They should have put the prices up of the Block A seats and see how many people stayed there - none probably!
As I mentioned it sounds as if quite a few A blockers have not renewed - Whether they are newbies giving up, or people retuning to thier old seats was not clear.
I have to say that there is no comparison between the seats in the very extreme ends of the East or West and those more expensive seats near the halfway line which are clearly way better. Again you get what you pay for.
